Case Study: TeeTurtle achieves $100,000 in annual shipping savings with RJMetrics

Teeturtle used data to renegotiate a logistics contract at a savings of $100,000

TeeTurtle, a St. Louis–based apparel brand known for soft, pop-culture tees, was preparing to renegotiate its logistics contract and suspected it was overpaying. The team needed to join Shopify order history with carrier shipping data and segment by weight, destination, and method to pinpoint inefficiencies — a task too complex for simple spreadsheets.

Using RJMetrics to pull Shopify data and upload raw shipping files, the team analyzed shipping profit by weight and destination and discovered losses on packages over 1 lb and high cost variability for heavier and international shipments. Armed with this analysis, TeeTurtle and its carrier redesigned shipping policies, cutting international rates 50% and domestic rates 10%, for an estimated $100,000 in annual savings.
